The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.
I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Peach Pie card stock for the front large layer. Before taping it to the front of the card I cut the 3rd largest circle from the "Stylish Shapes" die set. I made sure I had it off to the left enough so it wouldn't show once the card was put together. I also cut the flower from the "Fragrant Layers" bundle. I set it just below the circle I was cutting. Then I taped the Peach Pie piece to the front of the card base.
Next I cut a 5" x 2-3/4" piece of Basic White card stock for the layer behind the Designer Series Paper (DSP).
The DSP is from the "Lovely & Beautiful" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the Basic White layer. This was then taped to the front of the card, towards the left. I needed to make sure I had room for the Basic White strip.
A 3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White was cut and then textured using the "Stone & Vine" embossing folder. I glued that to the right side of the card. You are really going to need glue for this texture. It's so bumpy that there's not a lot of flat spots for tape to stick without smashing down the texture.
The words were stamped next. They are from the "Fabulous Sayings" set and were stamped using Calypso Coral ink. I cut them out using the 4th circle in the "Stylish Shapes" die set. I taped them to the Peach Pie circle. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card.
Using the outline flower die from the "Fragrant Layers" bundle I cut one out of Basic White card stock and I colored it using my dark Cajun Craze Blends pen. I glued it in place and then I taped the flower in place on the circle.
The leaves are from the same bundle and were cut using Old Olive card stock. I put tape on the bottom petals (I did cut the stems off) and tucked them under the flower.
I added a brass butterfly and the card was done.
This was a very fun, quick and easy card to make. I do like this layout. I can see myself using up a lot of DSP with layout!
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,
Wanda
